Wood & Vinyl Flooring

When choosing the right flooring for your home, there are several factors to consider: 

• Lifestyle: If you have pets or young children, focus on a durable and easy-to-clean option, such as vinyl flooring. LVT can handle heavy foot traffic and is resistant to scratches and spills, making it ideal for busy households.
• Budget: Engineered wood offers a more accessible way to achieve a premium natural look, while luxury vinyl generally provides a more affordable alternative. Tiles sit at various price points depending on the material and finish.
• Room: Consider the room’s purpose and potential foot traffic. For example, bathrooms and kitchens typically require a water-resistant flooring option like vinyl or tile. In contrast, living rooms and bedrooms often benefit from the warmth of engineered wood flooring.
• Style: Think about the style you want to achieve, like modern LVT or traditional engineered wood. 
• Maintenance: Review the maintenance requirements of your chosen flooring. Some options, like hardwood, require regular polishing and maintenance, while others, like vinyl, are low-maintenance and easy to care for. 

As expert commercial and residential flooring suppliers, our team can help you select a flooring option that fits your lifestyle.

Both LVT and laminate flooring are practical alternatives to natural flooring. Here’s a brief comparison of the two: 

1. Durability: LVT's multi-layer construction resists surface wear and separation better than laminate over time.
2. Water resistance: LVT is the clear winner. Its plastic core is fully waterproof, whereas laminate's wood-fibre core can warp with prolonged moisture exposure.
3. Appearance: Laminate offers a smooth surface in various colours, while LVT offers both smooth and textured options.
4. Cleaning: LVT's waterproof surface makes wet mopping easy; laminate needs a near-dry approach.
5. Sustainability: Laminate edges ahead for eco-credentials, though LVT's longer lifespan and reusability narrow the gap.

For most homes, especially in kitchens, bathrooms and busy family spaces, LVT is the more practical long-term option. Laminate suits drier areas where a warmer, more natural feel is the priority.

There are numerous options to consider. Some of the most popular types of flooring include:

• Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT): A high-end option offering a realistic wood or stone look, providing the elegance of natural materials without the high maintenance. These tiles are highly durable, scratch-resistant and easy to install, making them a practical yet stylish option for any space.
• Engineered wood: Made with a real wood top layer bonded over multiple layers of plywood, fibreboard or softwood. This quality product gives you the look of solid wood at a lower cost and with greater practical flexibility.
• Tile Flooring: A versatile option that can be used in any room. Tile flooring is easy to clean and maintain and it comes in a range of materials, including ceramic options, porcelain styles and natural stone.

Engineered vinyl plank (EVP) combines a rigid waterproof core with a realistic wood-look surface layer, giving it more dimensional stability than standard LVT - it resists expansion and contraction better, making it a strong choice for rooms with fluctuating temperature or humidity.

Most of our luxury vinyl flooring is water-resistant or fully waterproof, depending on the range, making it a practical choice for bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms.

Yes - engineered wood is designed to handle the expansion and contraction that underfloor heating causes, unlike solid wood, and most of our vinyl ranges are also underfloor-heating compatible. Always confirm compatibility on the specific product page before installing.

Engineered wood has a genuine hardwood top layer bonded over a stable engineered core, rather than being solid timber all the way through. That construction makes it less prone to movement, better suited to underfloor heating, and often more budget-friendly - while still offering a real wood surface that can be sanded and refinished.

Durability and easy cleaning matter most in a kitchen, which makes vinyl flooring a popular choice - it's low-maintenance and handles spills well. Engineered wood is also an option if you want a warmer look underfoot. See our dedicated kitchen vinyl flooring and kitchen engineered wood collections for options chosen specifically for kitchen use.

Standard vinyl and engineered wood flooring aren't rated for outdoor use. For patios, paths and gardens, you'll want a dedicated exterior product - browse our outdoor tiles collection, which is built specifically to handle the British climate.
